Head Board Help!

Our master bedroom as been pretty neglected for uh er almost 3 years now, sad but true. We moved in with what we had and didn't put much thought or worry into "our" room. But now that I have the rest of the house squared away, it's never "done" around here I want to really focus on making our room comfortable and very usable. Getting new bedding has my head a spinnin and I can't wait to add more to it!





We pretty much have everything we want furniture wise. Brent has his dresser from his Granny that he loves, I have my new nightstand, and his bedside table works great, with the t.v. now hung on the wall I want to get a better dresser for myself, just something taller, and we have a small chair by the window that will stay until baby #2. So now I just need to figure out the whole headboard situation. We have never had a headboard so I am working with nothing! I don't want a bedroom suite so I just want to find something that I love for us, it doesn't have to be new but it does have to be comfortable! And building something is not out of the question, I have super hubby ;)








Love this! But I could see Lucas jumping on the bed and hitting this and it falling down.






Love Love Love this one!






This was the idea we have always had, kinda plain though.....


I like this, it's different and I'm not sure I could pull it off.

Another one we had always thought we wanted.


Absolutely love this, not so sure Brent would agree though.


Really love this gate idea but again not sure it's the best option for a bunch of jumping littles!

OK now your thoughts? Any suggestions? Do tell!!

Weekend Recap!

Friday night Brent and I got to go on our weekly date night! We are loving getting to spend a few hours together doing something WE want to do. This week we went to eat at Chilli's because Brent owed me and then went to TJ Maxx to see if they had any good sheet sets. We ended up finding a sheet set and a new blanket for our bed! So of course that inspired a whole new room redo!

I also went over to mom's house on Saturday to get my Mema's nightstand that she gave me. I just love it! It's the one on the left, my side. It has two drawers and two doors for storage. Brent also hung the t.v. on the wall so we can see it better, it's so nice! I am in the market for a new chest of drawers to put under it. The one I currently have is quite squatty so I need at least a 5 drawer but would like a 6. So I will be on the hunt for that! When I find that and decide what to do for the head board I will post more pictures! Fun stuff :)

Lucas is loving his new bed too, stinker never sleeps in his bed anymore!

Sunday Lucas and I got up early and went to the McDonald's Playplace with Ethan and Ashley. The boys had fun! And Ashley and I got to catch up on the week.

Sunday evening we had some family over and my father in law made Chinese food! It was so yummy and Brent's aunt Dana made egg rolls also so good!

Brent and his two favorite boys!



Lucas and 'Baby Mikey' this was Brent's Cabbage Patch doll when he was little Lucas has been really into 'taking care of' his baby lately. He wants to change his diaper, give him a bottle and a binki it's just the sweetest thing! I hope Lucas will always be this caring.

We had a great weekend and spent it with the ones that matter most!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Top 10 Moments in My Life

" Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away"

• Our wedding day, I was so happy and excited to be joining our family as one.

• Lucas' birthday, nuff said!

• The day I 'adopted' my Chloe, she is truly my best friend and has been there with me though a lot and the day Brent took me to pick out Corben, I miss that brown bear so much.










• The day we took Lucas to beach for the first time. To me there is no better place to be on earth and I was thrilled to get to share that with my baby.










• The day I bought my brand new car, by myself I might add.










• The day I graduated high school, what a long road!










• The night Brent proposed to me, it was an absolute fairy tale!








• The day we found out we would be having a baby boy! We just knew we wanted a girl, God really does know best!






• Leaving my mom to spend 2 weeks in California with Desiree in 9th grade.






• Standing in my new apartment on the day I moved out with my mom as she was leaving.

And because I couldn't just pick 10...

• The night I picked Brent up from the airport in Tulsa when he had been in Colorado for 3 weeks working. I was big and pregnant and I had never been happier to see him!

And now I have tears rolling down my face at work.

Short Post!

We've had a fun and full weekend but I need to round more pictures up first!

Yes that is new bedding you see! Lucas went in Sunday afternoon laid down and went to sleep all by himself for his nap! He is growing up so fast!

More later ;)

Wordless Wednesday!

A Trip to the RaceTrack!

Saturday we all got up early and headed to the racetrack! It was nice to get away for a day, we hadn't been since Brent started his new/old job so he was really itchin to go :)

I thought it was going to be miserably hot but to our surprise the weather was not bad! Not much sun and a breeze almost all day!


Lucas and Daddy checking the tire pressure.

Even with the decent weather I was still so glad we brought the motor home with us! It really does spoil you, Brent and I both mentioned I don't think we could do it without the motor home ever again! ha!

Brent working on the car.

Lucas in the 'bus'

We didn't get home until really really late Saturday night, 1:00 am to be exact so we spent all day Sunday lounging around the house and catching up on chores.

I love spending time with my boys, another fun weekend I was sad to see go!

Tonight I am taking Lucas to the pet store to get a fishy! He doesn't know it yet and is going to be so excited!

A snake, a baby, and 2 parties!

I know crazy title!!

So Thursday evening about 7 I walked out into my kitchen and noticed Chip the cat was playing with something in the bottom of my curtains, I didn't think much of it until I saw it slither out! A snake! O my word I didn't know what to do! I think for a full minute I just stood there watching it, I watched it until it went under my oven! Then I thought O gosh where's Lucas! I picked him up and thought " How am I going to get Lucas and Chloe the dog to the car when all I have on is a t-shirt"! Ha that's pretty funny that my first thought was to get to the car and go to mom's house, mind you Brent was out of town (of course) I went to grab my phone to call mom and tell her we were on our way but my phone was over next to the oven! I was so freaked out at this point I put Lucas on the couch and ran as fast as I could to grab it and get back over to Lucas! I called mom, no answer, so I called Brent and he said to call his dad to come over and take care of it " O duh! Why didn't I think of that" So I called my father in law ( who always is the one to have to take care of my unwanted critters while Brent is away) and he came over and we looked and looked and looked. Pulled out the oven, turned it on, looked in the cabinets, looked everywhere we could think of and nothing.

But Brent got home Friday night and him and a guy from work tore the kitchen and garage and found this little guy! He wasn't harmful but we didn't want him in the house! Eric took him and let him go somewhere on his way home. Thank you Eric!!

Chip on snake patrol on Friday!

I am so glad that is over!

Saturday morning I got to go see this little cutie!

Eviee Rae was born Thursday evening weighing 6 lbs 10 oz

She was so sweet I held her for an hour! New babies are the best!

Thursday I got all the Thirty-One stuff in! I loved all my stuff so I had to share :)

Birdy bag with 30 cards, manicure case, compact mirror, and thermal flat iron case.

Brent's thermal lunch bag.

Laundry Bag

Huge tote!

Cosmetic bag that also doubles as a Bible case.

I love this bag! I originally got it for cleaning supplies but decided to take it to the race track on Saturday and it was great! It held all our 'dry' snacks and changes of clothes. All the pockets on the side are so great! I can see this bag being used for all kinds of events! Not sure if you can read it or not but in white it says "Super Mom"

I got all that stuff for a little less than $50!

Friday evening one of the play group girls had a Pampered Chef party! It was so so fun! I am really loving those girls and can't wait to see them again.

I got.....

The trifle bowl, that middle comes out and can be used as a stand to make it a more fancy bowl! So cute!

Quick Stir Pitcher, whatever you are making can be stirred up in the pitcher without using a spoon!

And there was a special spend $60 and you get this collapsible bowl free! Awesome!

I can't wait to get this stuff in! Thanks Stephanie!
